Yesterday was a fun and exciting day for Paul Toboni and his family, as he was officially introduced as the Nationals’ new president of baseball operations. But now that the hands have been shaken and pictures taken, his real work to rebuild the organization in his likeness begins. How does Toboni, the 35-year-old executive who quickly rose from a

The end-of-season press conference Monday with president of baseball operations/general manager Mike Elias and interim manager Tony Mansolino covered such a wide range of topics that it’s going to be referenced for weeks. The copy during a down period for non-playoff teams is stretched like leftovers. And every sentence gets dissected in the search

The rear view mirror is the best place for the Orioles’ 2025 season to be.  With a 75-87 record, Baltimore found itself in the cellar of the American League East. Forty-one different O’s threw a pitch, and 35 took a swing.  Trevor Rogers, the Most Valuable Oriole, was the team’s best player.

This morning, we’ll finally get the official announcement from the team about th

The failures didn’t break Tyler O’Neill, but everything else seemed to try. O’Neill joined the Orioles over the winter and couldn’t stay away from the injured list, making three trips due to neck inflammation, a left shoulder impingement and right wrist inflammation. He couldn’t get any momentum going in his first season of the three-year, $49.5 mi

Daylen Lile’s red-hot finish to the season earned him a pair of impressive honors: National League Player of the Month and NL Rookie of the Month. Those joint awards were announced this morning by Major League Baseball, which handed out all of the sport’s monthly honors for September and declared a double-winner for the Nationals. Lile closed out h

Following a month in which he led the National League in OPS, slugging percentage, batting average and triples, outfielder Daylen Lile was named National League Player and Rookie of the Month on Tuesday. The announcement was on MLB Network. Lile, 22, hit .391 with a .440 on-base percentage and a .772 slugging percentage in 25 games during the month

The Nationals entered 2025 with visions of winning for the first time in six years. Or, at minimum, showing significant improvement in their won-loss record and coming as close to actually winning as they had since hoisting the World Series trophy in October 2019.
